Bully Pulpit

The term "bully pulpit" stems from President Theodore Roosevelt's reference to the White House as a "bully pulpit," meaning a terrific platform from which to persuasively advocate an agenda. Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

RE: GOP BEGS MILD W. TO LET RIP

Steve Brenneis opines:

This isn't really all that surprising (or interesting either). George Bush is a politician, nothing more, nothing less. Expecting him to lead the fight would require him to be a leader or a statesman. I sometimes think that if Bush had his way, he would just have campaigned and then let someone else deal with all the nastiness of actually being the President.
